「Analysis-Japanese PM Kishida decided weeks ago to keep Russian gas」:  なんとなく国際ニュースでくるのではないかと思ったら、来ました。ガスをロシアから買うのは形を変えたロシア支援ですからね～。

Faced with national elections in July, Kishida wants to avoid soaring fuel bills and the risk of blackouts.

選挙があるので、ガス料金の値上げは困る、そもそも今日本で原発稼働してないし～。ということですね。かなり前から内閣で現状維持を決めていたようです。

If Japan were forced to replace Russian LNG with gas bought on the spot market, that would mean an additional cost of up to 3 trillion yen ($25 billion), at the current spot price, a senior energy agency official, who asked not to be identified, said.

そうなの?　凄まじい金額なんですけど。

If Tokyo were to ban Russian gas, Beijing could also step in to buy it

確かに、これは言えるんですよね。

Energy independence had long been a concern for Japan, and "could eventually cause tension with Europe and the United States", the energy agency official said.

とか米国は言っています。

が、ドイツも日本以上に

Germany in particular is wary of banning Russian supplies that account for about a third of its gas.

な状態です。

ま、どんな選択をしても

NATIONAL SECURITY FEARS

は考えなくてはいけません。
